Managed Deployment Requirements

The pipeline deployment model was added starting from Magento 2.2, any version of Magento prior to this will not be compatible with Managed Deployments at this time. Further to this, the following preconditions will need to be met to ensure a that the Managed Pipeline deployments run as smoothly as possible:

1. The composer install command can be run successfully against the site.
2. No files within the vendor/ or pub/static/ directories have been manually edited. This is because manual changes made to files within these directories will be overwritten each time a build is run. Overriding the code within these directories needs to be done within the app/code/ directory as per best practice.

3. The bin/magento app:config:dump command can be successfully run against the site

If you have concerns about whether your site will be compatible with Managed Deployments please open a support ticket via the Client Area and the support team will be able to help.
